MAHLA & BEEHDOO and daughter Raslaan

As Raja SahastraBaahu, who is amongst  the most important deity worshipped by Sahasi.. According to the Sahasi  legend, the rise and growth of this tribe is traced to SahastraBahu progeny
 MAHLA (i.e. MHALA)
and BEEHDOO in (i.e. BIDHU),
 and daughter RASLAAN.
 They also call themselves BHATUS (or BHANTUS ), their dialect.
 Historically, they are really Vratya Kshtariya who were driven out  by Parshuram in Treta Yug due to enemity between on the issue of Kamdhenu Mata.
                        Latter on in Kal-Yuga in 13 century,In Rajasthan by Muslim invaders under Allauddin Khilji around 1303.They seem to have wandered all over Punjab, passing through many vicissitudes for nearly two centuries. In course of time, some of them settled down on land, acquired status and influence, and even reared kingdom by getting absorbed into local communities, adopting indigenous caste names and ultimately embracing the SIKH Religion. Maharaja Ranjit Singh is taken as a descendent of one such noble family.
The said Author further states that, the Sahasi  are divided into principal clans named after their two famous ancestors
, MAHLA
And  BEEHDOO.
